Biden decapitates Chinese semiconductor technology

Obviously the Chinese have stolen all of the plans. How many Western experts do they need to recruit to do this all themselves?

The fear is not that the Chinese are stealing our designs, but that they are surpassing our designs. If they are just stealing, we will come up with new designs, that will not be stolen, and leave them in the dust. Besides, as the USSR learned, stolen designs are often worthless without the know-how that was developed with those designs.

Recruiting experts is a real problem for China. The flow is usually the opposite direction. How many people born in China end up working in America? How many people born in America end up working in China?

To use AI as an example, The Economist recently mentioned that 60% of AI experts live in America. Two thirds of the American resident experts were not born in America. That means, that we have 60% of the world expertise with immigration, and, at best, 20% without immigration. I say "at best", because American born AI experts would move abroad to work with colleagues, if America shutoff immigration.

With New Crackdown, Biden Wages Global Campaign on Chinese Technology

U.S. officials pushed to choke off China’s access to critical semiconductor technology after internal debates and tough negotiations with allies.

WASHINGTON — In conversations with American executives this spring, top officials in the Biden administration revealed an aggressive plan to counter the Chinese military’s rapid technological advances.

China was using supercomputing and artificial intelligence to develop stealth and hypersonic weapons systems, and to try to crack the U.S. government’s most encrypted messaging, according to intelligence reports. For months, administration officials debated what they could do to hobble the country’s progress.

They saw a path: The Biden administration would use U.S. influence over global technology and supply chains to try to choke off China’s access to advanced chips and chip production tools needed to power those abilities. The goal was to keep Chinese entities that contributed to potential threats far behind their competitors in the United States and in allied nations.

The effort, no less than what the Americans carried out against Soviet industries during the Cold War, gained momentum this year as the United States tested powerful economic tools against Russia as punishment for its invasion of Ukraine, and as China broke barriers in technological development. The Russian offensive and Beijing’s military actions also made the possibility of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan seem more real to U.S. officials.

This account of how President Biden and his aides decided to wage a new global campaign against China, which contains previously unreported details, is based on interviews with two dozen current and former officials and industry executives. Most spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss deliberations.

In addition to that as follows under President Biden's watch:

U.S. charges more than a dozen people in China espionage cases
Attorney General Merrick Garland said the new actions would “disrupt criminal activity” of individuals working on behalf of China.

The Biden administration is intensifying its efforts to put the spotlight on alleged covert operations by the Chinese government in the United States, unveiling a trio of criminal cases on Monday that included one in which Chinese operatives were accused of attempting to pay bribes for inside information about the high-profile prosecution of Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei."
